A little headache saving trick

[JohnB 255]

Hello everyone. I was in the process of upgrading a bot by way of creating mostly subroutines. Since you can't "run node" on a subroutine (would be a nice addition!) I had to test each node individually. When a process is made up of two or more nodes, it can get a little confusing during testing, so here is an example to explain how to test those (It's so simple, but felt it might help somebody):

 

Let's say I chose a drop down menu by attribute and followed that with a send keys chosen.

 

>>drop down = categories

>>send keys chosen = gg (for general since general is the second "g" in the list)

 

If I want to test it, just running the send keys chosen node will do nothing.

 

BUT

 

if you run the "choose by attribute" node AND THEN run the "send keys chosen" node it WILL run.

 

I hope that made sense, and I hope that will save someone a headache, as it sure did for me! http://ubotstudio.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif

I had never tried that with Send keys chosen. Good to know.
